Old favorites and powerful new treasures make "The Gigantic Book of Hunting Stories" what it is - a thrilling and insightful look at hunting, and hunters, around the world. The 800-page book, with 110 illustrations, will reacquaint readers, from armchair woodsmen to lifelong hunters, with the heart-pumping, white-knuckle thrill of the hunt.

In celebration of what would be his 150th birthday, this unique book has been put together in keeping with the spirit and philosophy of Theodore Roosevelt, our twenty-sixth president, who not only believed in the preservation of our wildlife and natural resources, but in the importance of hunting to the fabric of American life. A portion of the proceeds from The Gigantic Book of Hunting Stories will go to the Theodore Roosevelt Conservation Partnership, a coalition of organizations and individual grassroots partners working together to preserve the traditions of hunting and fishing.

Jay Cassell is a veteran editor, writer, book author, and outdoorsman. Currently the deputy editor of Field & Stream magazine, he has written for many other publications and hosted a number of outdoor television shows. This is the sixth book that he has either written or edited.
